Britain from Above

Some very cool visualization of GPS traces in this short video from the BBC, from the series "Britain from Above". I suspect someone in the geo-blogosphere must have posted about this previously, but I hadn't seen it. The taxi cab traces are reminiscent of animations I have seen Steve Coast present when talking about the origins of OpenStreetMap - but with fancier BBC graphical production in this case! Thanks to Johnny Klein for referring me to this, via MindSpark.
